What do you think friendship is all about?
Well, I think friendship is where you can make fun of each other and dont really mind at all. Cause these people are your friends! Ya lah, we can complain like, "Eh, you very bad!" but no one really cares cause you are friends. Its okay to tease each other and also knowing where the line is drawn.
I agree with this statement that a friend is someone you like and you trust. It really summarises the whole meaning of friendship.
Trust is an important thing between friends. And I guess that trust takes time to build up and so easy to destroy. Don't you think its funny? Something so hard to be build up should also be hard to destroy. But it is not like that for trust.
Yes, I must admit that I sometimes don't trust my friends. It makes me very superficial, I know. I also can be very paranoid, thinking that my friends hate me or something like that. I wonder why should I think like that especially when they are my friends. I mean, afterall, a friend is someone you like. I know it hurts my friends to think that I mistrust them and dont believe them. Cause I would hurt as well, if my friends were to tell me that they dont trust me.
I dont believe that friendship should be superficial. I believe that I should tell my friends how I feel about them but sometimes, there is my ego that I must overcome. Though, sometimes, it really really hurts to know what people think of you sometimes, but we learn I guess. Together we grow. But, I really believe that people will appreciate honesty. When we are really honest with our feelings and not try to cover them up with superficiality. The world is as superficial as it is already. And honesty is not something we come by every single day. Yes, it's hard to be honest, no? I myself have troubles with being honest. Yes the truth hurts, no? But I guess we grow as we are honest to ourselves as well and we feel a weight lifted from us.
It makes me really glad that I had time to talk to Shi Jia after school today. I know she really hates hypocrites and I really dont want her to hate me. I treasure her friendship too much. I got the chance to tell her what I think about her sometimes. Like how I feel she does not like me sometimes. I know its so stupid and I was really embarrassed to be admitting this to her. I felt like a fool lah! It's me just being paranoid and it is only me being very superficial. And I know it hurts lah...why does the truth always hurt?
I'm really sorry that I did not trust her.
I'm really glad that I told shi jia all this things cause it's like a burden lifted from me. I don't want to create a wall between us called the wall of superficiality. I want to be able to talk freely and normally like friends. And I, I must learn to be more trusting if I say that I treasure friendship.
Sometimes, I wonder why am I holding onto this anger and talking behind my friends back when I say I really treasure friendship? I'm just lying to myself ain't I? Why do I have to do things behind my friends back if I treasure their friendship? Why am I like this?
I want to be able to trust Dylan, Chun ping, Aaron and Trevor. But like I said earlier, trust takes time. I really don't know how much I can trust you guys now. I'm sorry. But I really enjoy their friendship a whole lot. School has become much more interesting this past few days due to your constant jokes at the expense of myself. And like I said, friends are really people you can joke with and not really mind cause they are your friends and you like them!
You know, if you take away the 'R' in the word friend, it becomes fiend. Which means 'a diabolically cruel or wicked person' And obviously, no one like a cruel or wicked person. 'R' is like trust, and no relationship can sustain if there is no trust.
It reminds me that in primary school that I used to asked people to fill in my autograph book and at the end of 'likes' and 'favourites', there will be a poem page. I can't remember the poem, but it goes something like that, ' The king has a ship, the queen has a ship, I have a ship and that is friendship!' Lame, I know but it's so important to have friends! I really can't do without my friends!
I Lay every burden down, at the foot of the cross
